This is the ninth article in our series about Power Design Pro™ software and it highlights motor loads and the significant impact they potentially have on sizing the generator. Some starting loads tend to be higher and draw more power than running loads, so users have the option to adjust those settings and/or start motors in sequence to prevent specifying an oversized genset.
